So this is the 3rd time I have seen something about Hamilton being assassinated today. He was not. There have been 4 presidential assassinations, Garfield, McKinley, Lincoln, and JFK. Hamilton wasn't assassinated but he should have been.

It is nonetheless, an assassination. Here is the definition: Assassination is the killing of a prominent person, either for political or religious reasons or for payment. and here is an article on the cause: https://www.thoughtco.com/duel-between-alexander-hamilton-aaron-burr-104604 You don't have to be president to be assassinated.

Except he died in a duel. He was not assassinated.
